I liked being an only child so much that when I was little, I had a plan to run away if my parents had any other kids.
But I also really wanted to be an identical twin.
I am an onion-phobe. I hate onions in just about every state, in just about every food. I [...]

Two new topics posted, Perfect Day, and My life 10 years ago.
And some photos from my visit to Duke Gardens on Saturday
And always remember to have your ducks in a row.

INVITATION
If you are a dreamer, come in.
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer . . .
If you’re a pretender, come sit by my fire,
For we have some flax golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!
– From the wonderful, wonderfully talented Shel [...]

Ahoy mateys! Come on and GLARE with your good eye, it’s talk like a pirate day, ye scurvy dogs!

I am aware of your displeasure. Because we are a team, your unhappiness in turn becomes my unhappiness. I’m sorry I let it go on for as long as it did.

I’m eliminating dairy for a week, starting today. I think in addition to being sensitive to gluten, I think I have a problem with dairy. I will also be keeping a food journal (don’t worry, not here) to track how I feel. And I will try not to whine too much, I promise.
Of course, this [...]

….”Well, at least you went to Rome,where you got your Italian shoes. That’s something,” he said.
“I didn’t really go to Rome,” she mumbled.
“What do you mean? You said you went to Rome last year!”
“Well, I flew to Rome,” she said, while chewing her hair nervously.
“Yes, and then?”
“It was so big. And overwhelming. And I [...]

Glitazones. Headline reads: Fresh fuel for the glitazone controversy.
How fun is that for a word/headline? Granted it’s a serious health thing dealing with heart stuff, but the word itself is excellent.

A journal drawing of one of the small glass bottles I collect, filled with sea foam and ocean water that I used to try to sell when I was little.
As an only child, and a creative one at that, I lived in my head a lot. I was always having running dialogs, verbal [...]

Photos from my trip home this past weekend. This is my beach, I grew up here, I know it as well as I know any place, and there are always new things to see and discover. I never tire of the ocean, of the sound of waves crashing (even little small waves), the smell [...]
